No injuries in Green Lake County ice rescue

KINGSTON - No one was injured after a truck broke through the ice Thursday morning on a pond near Green Lake.

Authorities responded about 7:30 a.m. to a report that a truck had broken through the ice into about 5 feet of water on Kingston Millpond in southern Green Lake County, according to a news release from the Green Lake County Sheriff's Office.

Two of the four people in the truck were able to walk to shore, while the other two were still in the vehicle when police arrived, the release stated. The driver, a 53-year-old Madison man, and a passenger, a Pardeeville 25-year-old man, were rescued from the truck. Neither man needed medical attention.

A preliminary investigation found the truck driver had traveled on a recently-frozen-over part of the Millpond where a river channel is located, the release stated.
